SPIDER: CMB polarimetry from the edge of space
R. Gualtieri, J. P. Filippini, P. A. R. Ade +61
SPIDER is a balloon-borne instrument designed to map the polarization of the millimeter-wave sky at large angular scales. SPIDER targets the B-mode signature of primordial gravitat…
280 GHz Focal Plane Unit Design and Characterization for the SPIDER-2 Suborbital Polarimeter
A. S. Bergman, P. A. R. Ade, S. Akers +76
We describe the construction and characterization of the 280 GHz bolometric focal plane units (FPUs) to be deployed on the second flight of the balloon-borne SPIDER instrument. The…
BICEP2 / Keck Array IX: New Bounds on Anisotropies of CMB Polarization Rotation and Implications for Axion-Like Particles and Primordial Magnetic Fields
Keck Array, BICEP2 Collaborations, : +65
We present the strongest constraints to date on anisotropies of cosmic microwave background (CMB) polarization rotation derived from 150 GHz data taken by the BICEP2/Keck Array CMB…
A New Limit on CMB Circular Polarization from SPIDER
J. M. Nagy, P. A. R. Ade, M. Amiri +58
We present a new upper limit on CMB circular polarization from the 2015 flight of SPIDER, a balloon-borne telescope designed to search for -mode linear polarization from cosmic…
